FC Juarez Kicksoff New Season…

Bravos de FC Juarez will begin their 2018 Clausura season of the Ascenso Mx League today at 6pm MST against Celaya FC in the city of Celaya, Guanajuato. It was a quick turnaround between seasons as the Bravos played for the championship on December 2nd, 2017, a little more than a month ago.

The reason for the quick turnaround is due to the 2018 World Cup in Russia later this summer, leagues all over the world are being pressured to wrap up their season as early in the spring as possible.

As for the Bravos offseason, it can be described as uneventful. Not a lot of changes or new acquisitions could be expected for a team that finished second in the league and played for the championship last season. The only notable changes was the acquisition of goalkeeper Enrique Palos from first division Tigeres de Monterrey and midfielder Matheus Cotulio from Brazil.

The team from the Borderland did not lose any key players for the upcoming season.

Last season the Bravos tied their season opening match to Celaya FC playing as the home team on July 22nd, 2017 at Benito Juarez Olympic Stadium.

This evening’s match will be broadcast via radio in Spanish on Radio Deportiva 1560AM with coverage beginning a few minutes before 6 pm MST.
